Cannot install Rmarkdown

General
#1

I can not install R Markdown. The message is "Creating R Markdown documents requires updated verions of the following packages: Rcpp, base64enc, htmltools, jsonlite, knitr.... "

Do you want to install these packages now?

When I click yes --> failed job.

Could you please help me to solve this problem?

Please share the error you're getting verbatim.

You should try running the command,

install.package("rmarkdown")

prior to trying to knit a document.
